WEEK 21- what lack I yet?

Hello hello!

Wow. Things have been insane. Haha they always are with transfers but

this was my first time actually moving for transfers so that was even

more crazy. I packed up and said some tough goodbyes

 Leaving Great

Falls was hard...REALLY hard........

They mandate Flu shots here…….Here's photo evidence that I did.....I look like I'm smiling but on

the inside I was thinking "get that thing away from me". I hate

vaccinations. But you know...exact obedience......

Right now we live in a little trailer park. It's been a party! The bed

broke so we're sleeping on a mattress on the ground...the toilet seat

is broken so you have to be careful when you sit so you don't slide

off. It happens. Especially at when its dark. Haha  You can't run more than 2 sources of water at the same

time! If your showering and have the faucet on, you can't flush the

toilet.   Its all good.... it's usually just a nice, steady trickle of water to shower in.   So it's way fun!   I was spoiled in my last area....But change is good right?? Every day is an

adventure here.

Transfers last 3 days here in MBM. Haha they start

Tuesday and the last vans get to their spots on Thursday. I got here  on Wednesday and met with Sister Rasmussen. She's from American Fork Utah and has been here for a few transfers.

Oh my goodness, I haven't laughed this hard

 in a long time. Yes, we're pretty goofy but we're ready to WORK

this transfer! It's gona be the best. The first few days were stuffed

with a billion and one meetings.

 Sister Rasmussen and I split the 2 wards with the zone leaders…So….

 we met with both bishops,

both ward mission leaders, the stake president and high counsel, and

now we're meeting with all the auxiliaries for both  wards. It's been

insane. literally. But it's good!  It's such a learning

experience. Way more busy times

to come. But I'm SO grateful for this opportunity.

A little terrified too but it's great!

Okay and wow, we have an amazing zone!--I'm pretty sure everyone says

that about their zone though. Haha but I'm just so extremely grateful. We started off

this transfer with a zone fast to consecrate ourselves and give our

hearts to the Lord

 As we fasted, we thought about and prayed

specifically of what we can give to the Lord to purify ourselves.

We are here to do His work. There is

No other time like this to totally serve like  RIGHT NOW. So each of us kneeled down and once again,

recommitted ourselves to our purpose and to our Heavenly Father. The

beautiful thing is that it is not just for on our missions.

We can ALL turn our hearts over to the Lord.

I LOVE Elder Lawrence’s  talk about "what lack I yet?".

We can ask Him right NOW, anytime,e "what lack I yet?" What can I do better? What can I change

to become more like You? It really does work. He answers I can promise

you that. So I invite you to do it. :)

I love you all so much!!!! I miss you! But I love this work and I know

we're all where we're supposed to be right now. Love you love you!!
